[Verse 1]
G B7 *
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Verse 2]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way
[Chorus]
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Bridge]
Look like, nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
[Verse 3]
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Whistling]
